2. Stories
$$$$ | |In the very elegant dining room of the historic Haliburton Hotel, just a few exquisitely set tables set the scene for a sophisticated meal. The menu is short, but is carefully devised to cater to various tastes, and everything, including inventive accompaniments, is very well executed. With friendly professional service, it's a perfect place for a special-occasion dinner, or just to make an ordinary day special.

3. The Press Gang
$$$$ | |Easily one of the city's hippest upscale establishments, the Press Gang prepares fish and meat with equal panache, with wines from the well-stocked cellar. A four-course tasting menu (C$160 for two) is also offered. Thick, cold stone walls testify to the building's era (1759), but comfy seating and intimate lighting soften the effect. Local musicians play on Friday and Saturday night.

4. Da Maurizio
$$$$ | |This Northern Italian restaurant is a classic big-night-out choice. Subdued lighting, elegant furnishings, fresh flowers: all the details have been attended to, and ditto the food, which is impressive and satisfying. Excellent seared foie gras is always on the menu, as is veal scaloppine sautéed with lobster and topped with a creamy garlic-and-cognac sauce. Prices on the specialty wine list go as high as C$600, but there are also fine bottles for under C$50.

5. Five Fishermen
$$$$ | |Installed in a heritage building across from the Grand Parade, this restaurant is splurge-worthy. While classics like oysters Rockefeller and seared scallops never disappoint, inventive seafood dishes such as lobster-crusted haddock and a 6-pound flash-fried lobster tower elevate the menu. This is also a great place for steak, wagyu burgers, and other delectable items from the grill. Tables are backlit through a wall of stained glass, and the seafood is so good locals keep coming back.

6. McKelvie's
$$$$ | |In a handsome 1906 firehouse across from the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, McKelvie's is that rare find that hits the sweet spot between upscale and down-home. Though all the menu mainstays are here, from oysters Rockefeller to surf and turf, the best bets are the contemporary twists on seafood classics. Although the restaurant has been in business for over 30 years, its look is as fresh as the ingredients used here.

- Great location for waterfront attractions
- Historic building

7. The Bicycle Thief
$$$$ | |Casual, boisterous, and hugely popular, this place has a patio right on the waterfront—on the landward side, look for the "tree" of old bicycles stacked outside. The lengthy menu slants Italian but also features meat-heavy main courses, all with interesting accompaniments that incorporate the finest Nova Scotian ingredients. Reservations are strongly recommended.
1475 Lower Water St., Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3J 3Z2, Canada902-425–7993Known For
- Good cocktails and wide range of wines by the glass
- Great views over the waterfront
